Chief Technology Officer & Founding Team at Eprenz

After graduation, I thought to do my master’s in entrepreneurship, but became aware that formal university education can only give me information and knowledge but real-world experiments on entrepreneurship can give me the ability and experience. So, I chose the second way. You can reach out to me if you would like to talk to me about technology, marketing, and entrepreneurship. Happy to talk!
